UK Supreme Court Ruling: The Triumph Of Reality | Louise Perry

Listen to this episode from John Anderson: Conversations on Spotify. Louise Perry joins John to dissect the UK Supreme Court’s recent ruling that anchors “woman” to biological sex in the Equality Act. The verdict, Perry argues, unveils the fraying tapestry of progressivism, which clings to the flawed thesis of human interchangeability. In focusing on women's safety and biological integrity, the Court's decision mirrors a broader recognition of transgender activism’s overreach, which demanded a denial of truth and reality. Beneath this legal milestone lies a deeper lament for a civilisation adrift, unmoored from Christian roots and besieged by cultural dislocation. From the fertility crisis to the hollow promises of sexual liberation, Perry and John trace the wreckage of progressive ideals: the allure of OnlyFans, fractured relationships, and a generation craving meaning. Yet glimmers of hope are emerging: rising church attendance and a trend of young minds questioning the chaos around them. Louise Perry is the author of The Case Against the Sexual Revolution, described by the Observer as possibly “one of the most important feminist books of its time.” She hosts the podcast Maiden Mother Matriarch, and is a frequent contributor to The New Statesman, The Spectator, and The Daily Mail.
